Scroll Through Spring: Irises

Posted by mbgadmin on

The Missouri Botanical Garden has more than 1,200 varieties of iris—many of which reside in the Alice Hahn Goodman Iris Garden. These showy spring flowers reach their peak right around Mother’s Day in St. Louis, and visiting them has become tradition for many families in the area. We invite you to take a scroll among the irises with some of our favorite images from this spring at the Garden.
